BOYCUT

"Unlike other genres, pop's numerous limitations (everything from the simple verse-chorus-verse song structure to its love of melodies to its goal of pleasing as many listeners as possible) means that pop music creators must refine their music to achieve greater musical goals. And really great and progressive pop music, when it succeeds, sounds more compelling than nearly anything else. Boycut traffics in this same realm while pushing its music a little bit further. It's compelling stuff." - Chicago Tribune

"We didn’t know what was next. Boycut turned out of the way at the last minute, avoiding the never-ending pileup of wannabe projects that lay in a cloud of smoke which reeks of worn out Grimes and Purity Ring records, and uses the electronic template as a promising pivot point that highlights songwriting first and production second." - Ghost Track

"The sound engineering on Meland’s part is remarkable and Otnes’s vocals blend with the music in a way that seems effortless, yet still edgy" - Buzz Magazine
